You are welcome, Doug, and I am glad to have been able to pray for Brian and still praying for you and your family and friends, for I know the emptiness and sorrow of missing a loved one when we are left behind! Thank you for letting me be a part of Brian's life, although I had never seen him in person, I still felt I was part of your family through our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
I still miss my brother, Cliff, and knew that he would not always be with me because of His terrible disease of Pulmonary Hypertension, but I also know he has no more sorrows, pains or doesn't ache any more! The sadness of our loss is almost unbearable at times but, with Jesus and knowing our loved ones are saved, helps us make it through until we, ourselves, can go and see and be with them again for eternity! God's promises are that He will never leave nor forsake us and that means our saved, loved ones also, so there is a better Home awaiting and a Happy Reunion coming for each of us, who believe by faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus, and serve Him with joy and gladness....no matter the trials we each must go through, for this old troubled and sinful world is not our Home, for we are just travelling through because we are in the world but not of it! Praise God for His mercy and grace of making a way through His only begotten Son being sacrificed in our place that we may not be condemned of sins any more but are set free by our believing faith and our continuing faithfulness to our Lord, Savior and Heavenly Father! Look up, for our redemption draws nigh, and before the blinking of an eye, we will be with Him and our loved ones again.....rejoicing at Jesus' feet... and dining at His banquet table reserved for His true believers, (His Bride) who are faithful saints! Amen!
